No, red spider mites do not bite humans. Red spider mites only feed on plants. However, there are many species of parasitic mites, that do bite people, and some may be mistaken for red spider mites.References:Evergreen Garden Works: Spider Mites!Florida Gardener: Florida Insects: Spider MitesUniversity of Kentucky College of Agriculture: Parasitic Mites of Humans; Michael F.
